A Symposium on the Final Report of the Secretary’s Commission on Opportunity in Athletics.

Thirty years ago, Congress enacted Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. Title IX has led to a tremendous increase in the number of women participating in athletic programs across the nation. In 2002, Secretary of Education Rodney Paige established the Commission on Opportunity in Athletics. The Commission’s Final Report in February 2003 and its recommendations to the Secretary have engendered much debate and national attention. Please join us to discuss the Commission’s Final Report and its impact on women’s and men’s athletic opportunities across the country, as well as its broader impact on Title IX.
